You should keep track of opened forms in your main form anyway, so when
you minimize the current form, simply notify the main form, which in
turn can notify all open forms.

Agree entirely that it is good practice to keep track (in your own
code) of which forms are open.

If it is already way too late for this, you *might* be able to use
Application.OpenForms; the problem here is that you may need to
distinguish between parent, child, owned etc, and forms with active
modal sub-forms, MDI etc. But my recommendation is as per Laurent's
post.
